-<h3>1. Troubleshooting</h3>
-
-<a name="A001001"></a>
-<h4>1.1 Encoding seemed to work fine, but I don't get any sound</h4>
-<p>I guess you are trying to read an AVI file with OS X
-/ Quicktime. Try installing the latest DivX codec from
-<a href="http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/">DivX.com</a>,
-or use <a href="http://videolan.org/vlc/">VLC</a>.</p>
-
-<a name="A001002"></a>
-<h4>1.2. Not every title of the DVD shows up in HandBrake</h4>
-<p>There are 3 reasons why HandBrake might not show a title: it is a
-menu, it has no audio track HandBrake can handle (only AC3 is supported)
-or there was a problem when trying to decode data from it (e.g. a
-decryption problem). There is no way to workaround this, these titles
-don't show up just because you can't rip them. You might check HandBrake
-logs in a terminal to know what's happening on your particular DVD.</p>
-
-<a name="A001003"></a>
-<h4>1.3. Rip exits after a while with a AC3 error. What does that
-mean?</h4>
-<p>It means HandBrake had to deal with corrupted data. It usually
-happens when your DVD drive is over-heating after a X-hours long rip.
-Though it is handy to directly rip from the DVD, I recommend that you
-copy it first to the hard drive whenever possible (for example with
-MacTheRipper, using "Extract Complete Disc") then you can open the
-folder with HandBrake. You have to keep the DVD folder organization
-(multiple VOB and IFO files), HandBrake won't open single VOB files.</p>
-
-<h3>2. Features</h3>
-
-<a name="A002001"></a>
-<h4>2.1 I want to convert a movie so I can burn it on a VCD or a DVD-R.
-Is HandBrake the right application to do this?</h4>
-<p>No. HandBrake only outputs MPEG-4, no MPEG-1 or MPEG-2. If you are
-using OS X, have a look at <a
-href="http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/18193">
-forty-two</a>, <a
-href="http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15473">
-ffmpegX</a>, <a
-href="http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/20778">
-DVDRemaster</a> or <a
-href="http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19238">
-DVD2oneX</a>. This will save you time and quality.</p>

-<h4>2.2 I want to to convert a movie so I can edit it in iMovie. Is
-HandBrake the right application to do this?</h4>
-<p>No. MPEG-4 isn't a good format for editing, you'd better find a way
-to extract it as MJPEG or something, or edit the MPEG-2 directly.</p>
-
-<a name="A002003"></a>
-<h4>2.3. I wish HandBrake could support subtitles, rip a 30 seconds
-sample, [...]</h4>
-<p>Check the <a href="http://handbrake.m0k.org/TODO">TODO</a> list to
-see what's on the roadmap. If you wish to see a feature which isn't
-already in it, mail me and, if I think I can do it someday, I'll add
-it to the list.</p>
-
-<a name="A002004"></a>
-<h4>2.4 Any plan to include 3ivx / DivX 5 encoding?</h4>
-
-<p>No. 3ivx/DivX aren't free software and have no multi-platform API.
-Moreover, they don't bring any noticeable quality improvement to XviD
-or FFmpeg. Though, you might consider using the 3ivX decoder to play
-the created files as its post-processing engine is known to be pretty
-good.</p>
-
-<h3>3. Technical</h3>
-
-<a name="A003001"></a>
-<h4>3.1 What's the difference between Ffmpeg and XviD?</h4>
-<p>Both are MPEG-4 compliant encoders, so you may choose whichever you
-want. However, I would recommend Ffmpeg as it is pretty faster on BeOS
-and OS X.</p>
-
-<a name="A003002"></a>
-<h4>3.2 What is 2-pass encoding?</h4>
-<p>It performs a slower but better compression - basically it makes
-sure you'll get a constant quality so you won't see blocks in fast
-motion scenes. Though it's disabled by default, I would strongly
-recommend to use it except if you really care about time.</p>
-
-<h3>4. Misc</h3>
-
-<a name="A004001"></a>
-<h4>4.1. How do I donate for HandBrake?</h4>
-
-<p>I'm working on HandBrake for fun, therefore I haven't set up a
-paypal account or anything (and I won't). Thanks anyway to people who
-wanted to give me money ;p<br>
-There are still two ways to make me happy:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>Send me a friendly email</li>
-<li>You may send me a DVD (for example, a DVD HandBrake has problems
-with so I can work it out). Sending a DVD through the world isn't really
-handy though (the cheapest way is probably to order it online in a
-french store with my address for shipping), so if it's a problem, you
-can just fall back on the friendly mail ;)<br>

-<h4>4.2 Where does this stupid name / icon come from?</h4>
-<p>Don't ask.</p>
